I usually brine for a week while it defrosts. Spatchcock it to fit in my elec smoker. And smoke it for a few hours. Probably the easiest and quickest cook i have ever done.

Brined for 18hrs, injected with garlic butter, rubbed with olive oil and black pepper... headed to the smoker.

Here’s how I cook my turkey, first I get up super early, then I give mama a good morning kiss as I pass by the kitchen. Then I flip on the news while she prepares the house with pineapple slices and brown sugar etc. then when the ham is done we eat it like starving Ethiopians because nobody in my house likes turkey.

I can get my Large BGE right on. It’s still going at 252 (target of 250). I have yet to get temp control down that good on the XL BGE

I may have to do that. I pride myself in controlling temps on the L manually, but just cannot get in synch with the XL

The larger eggs are harder to use. My Large is super easy to control.

Here is some of the 7 20lb birds we are doing this morning and 6 more hams. Did a brown sugar glaze last night on the hams. No need for honey baked hams here.
